Default BMW E90 Brochure leaked!

I'm not 100% if this is legitimate but it has some nice pictures.

I'm not sure if I like the audi esque front end.

The rest of the car look better than I hoped. (for the record I disliked the E46 when I first saw it and still think they aren't very good looking).

I uploaded the brochure to my webspace as the server it was on was slow (only 4kb/s).

it's in pdf format so right click and choose save as.

BTW it's not in english.

I do not like the Audi-esque front end either, but I like everything besides that.

It's a very...interesting design. Very complicated. The side cut line is very deep and very interiguing, and the taillights are shaped in conjuction with the side body line to make the car appear to shrink towards the tail. I dunno...it's one of those things you have to see in person to properly judge. It sure is bold though.

I have a feeling these Bangle designs won't fair well over time. (ergo, they'll age quickly) It's not as bad as I was expecting--but still not great.

I'm surprised they leaked an official brochure so early, especially since the E90 wasn't supposed to be shown until next March in Geneva. However, I think the E90's design is very aggresive and bold. I think the cleans look clean and crisp, and the headlights and taillights are pretty impressive. The only thing I don't like is the Audi-like imitation "shield grill". And the new engine line-up is equally as impressive, but I'd certainly expect to see better 0-60 times in the real world than the "official" quotes. If pricing remains similar to the current 3er, I expect BMW to have a winner on its hands.

Holy crap! Why did they leak it so early??

Edit-I checked the website on the brochure masthead www.bmw.co.si

It didnt check out. Some of the pictures look sketchy. This looks as if its a fake, albeit, a damn good one.
